Mark Zuckerberg

[El Kabong]

#1 Zuckerberg wasn't even under oath.

#2 Zuckerberg had 85% of the folks questioning him on his payroll to one extent or another.

#3 The ills of Facebook go beyond "They dun stole my infermachun!" Facebook tracks PHONE CALLS "Why?" you might ask....and "Why indeed?" would be my response

[Master]

I thought he was grilled good by the politicians.

Not really, a few people nudged him a bit but not only does he donate to everyone questioning him but 90 percent if not all use Facebook for campaigns. Some of them spent time praising Zuck about the successful business he created. I didn't listen to all of it, I'm sure there were some tough questions but when they got to juicy stuff like monitoring internet usage once you logged out of Facebook and the phone call thing no one I heard followed. Zuck just said sorry I'll do better a lot. Congress prob had to be careful or Zuck might have had to admit he works with the NSA monitoring the world

By the way Facebook stock was up today and already back at 167

Did you see Mark being made uncomfortable when they asked him if he would let them know which hotel he stayed in last night and who he has contacted in the last few days? He was sweating.

Ha that is frickin great. I didn't watch it today had it on the radio during a drive. Props to whomever gave that question. One thing I did find strange is when certain members of congress told the Zuck the ills of Facebook are due to lack of diversity in its upper echelons. Some members of our congress I'm convinced are insane. This isn't about me having an issue with #diversity its about having an issue with congress and how they act with cameras pointed at them.

Some other problem with testimony is that lets face it majority of questioners are not tech savvy. With a question like 'shouldn't we be able to choose who see's our update' Zuckerberg was just batting gnats. Until today I didn't know you could 'make calls' on FB. My question is who in their right mind would do this. Who lists their contact numbers on FB? Let alone send steamy detailed messages with personal information on a messenger. But I digress. I think there's a shit ton of personal responsibility that goes with social media. And a boat load of common sense. Does anyone actually post travel info, dates, times, location etc etc? This is just a face of equal and greater problems on the web. Shoot I won't even link home-mobile or i cloud whatever.

All I needed to see to know be weary-trust little is when I went to delete my account when first signing up and it turned into a drawn out psychological guilt trip and interview process, complete with 'friends' pics flooding me with captions like "Shirley Stinkle will really miss you" etc etc. Who the fark is Shirley Stinkle?

Cucked Zuck offered to "walk" one congress member through an algorithm, I think it was the one that "accidently" caused several conservative sites, including those two girls to be labeled as "unsafe" that congress women said no to the algorithm explanation faster than I've ever heard any politician answer a question. If the majority of these ban issues were algorithm related it would have been interesting to hear some technical explanation but as in all these public investigations it is more about asking questions to sound good then getting truly useful information. Facebook will prob get a billion dollar fine and in a few years everything is back to normal. Facebook has 73% of the US I really don't see them going anywhere. Sorry that 73% figure includes all of social media

I had a conversation about Facebook over the winter: 'Why aren't you on Facebook?' 'Well, it is very unsafe. A spy tool'. 'What? Are you some kind of conspiracy theorist?' 'I don't think these are conspiracies'.

[brocktonblockbust]

spicoli its not actual phone numbers on FB, its like Skype,

[Beanz]

Miles and Brockton how self inflated are you to think anyone would be interested in spying on you anyway? You are not a pair of radical activists or international double agents are you?..., or are you.. Oooh

[Spicoli]

spicoli its not actual phone numbers on FB, its like Skype,

Video messaging on FB chat even worse..if you don't expect it to be shared? Who does that .

[Beanz]

I think you just hate the idea of being on the same level as the great unwashed. It would puncture your air of superiority and bring you farting air back down to earth. It's like the Zuckerberg thing. However justified the worries about him are, underneath and on top of a lot of it is a bitter resentfulness toward youth and young people. How dare they go their own way. Why can't they be conservative and just carry on doing things the same way. It sounds like young men, old and reactionary before their time going "Wah, wah..I don't get it, the world is so confusing, why can't everyone be like me". Him being a Jew is of course purely coincidental. Just like Obama being black had nothing to do with a lot of his critics continually reminding us they were not being racist. ha!

[Gandalf]

What on earth are you ranting about? Bonkers.

[Beanz]

Censor him, censor him.
